KNIGHTS OF LABOR
AND TIE CHURCH OF ROME.
Cardinal Gtbbons Favorable Report on tho
Order to Pope Leo-It Is Received VIII,
Heloicips by tho Ka'gh,s-Inaaencs
ofthe 0encral Master Workman. 5

NEw YoRK, March 2,-Cardinal Glib.
bons' favorable report TO Pope Leo as to
the aims and standing Of tho knights OF
Labor set forth in cable dispatches from
Rome, was received with much rejoicing
by the knights In this city. 1t had been
thought by many Of the leading Knights
that the McGlynn affair and the attacks
made by Henry George on the
church would have prejudiced
the authorlties at Rome against
tho order and this fear was aggravated by
the fact that Cardinal Teschareau who
sailed In company with tho American
Cardinal had announced his intention Of
endeavoring to Influence Rome in his
fight with the Canadian knights, The
position taken by Cardinal Gibbons, they
say, will settle the whole matter. He Is
an especial favorite With the Pope, and
his advice as to The Treatment OF any. mat.
ter IN which the Unittd States is concerned
will, 1t is declared, be taken as 1t Is given.
In addition, Bishop Hopkins, OF Vir-
ginia, and Bishop Ireland, Of 81. Paul, who
are both friendly to the Knights, and who
are recognized at Rome as representing
the more progressive element OF the Amer.
ican hierarchy, are with Cardinal Gibbons
to support him in the position which be
has takon. W n
Cardinal Gibbons is in a position to
speak more intellisently Of tho principles
Of the knighta that any other church.
man. Before leaving for Rome, he care.
fully examined the manual Of the order.
He also held long conference with Mas.
ter Workman Powaerly, whom he regards
as a devout and conservative Catholic.
His present position Ia the result OF
his investigation. It is said In
clerical circles that the knights had pow
erful enemiea within the Vatican. Many
Of the cardinals thought tho order to be Of
a character aimilar to the secret societies
OF Italy and Spain, and opposed it for that
reason. This report Of Cardinal Gibbons
has no bearing whatever on the McGlynn
case. Nor will its endorsement by the
Pope carry with itsny weight.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2.-In tho case
OF the Knights Of Honor sgainst Colonel
Robert J. Breckenridge, on his official

ridge made such disclosures CO to COM
pletely discourage the defense, and when
the case waa resumed this afternoon an
agreed order OF judgment wss rendered
the court, by which the pureties on Col.
onel Breckenridge's bond pay S25 900, tho
amount OF deficit, to the proper officers OF
the Knights Of. Honor, and check for
that anount wss paid into court. Colonel
Breckinridge claims that the deficit ap.
pearing from the books Was the. result OF
the System CT conducting the business,
and that his work no Treaaursr OF the
order was merely OF aupalvisory chsz-
acter, and from hia past record and gen.

Of Honor believed in hig honesty.
The testimony Robert J. Breckinridge,

ever, waa very damaging. He was chief
clerk in his fathers Office, and had charge
Of tho books. Young Breckenridge &C.

REV. J.G. ARMSTRONG
Renouncos the Episcopal Church on A
count OF Continued Prosecutions,


ATLANTA, Ga, March i.--Rsv. J. G.
Armstrong, formerly pastor Of tho Monu.
mental Church, Richmond, Va, and latter
Of 81. Philips in Atlanta, has formally
withdrawn from tho ministry Of the Pro.
testant Epiocopal Church and renounced
It's authority over his actions. Tho story
Of DR.. Armstrong's misfortune is we'll
know. He came to Atlanta heralded by
his wounderfnl reputation as q pulpit
orator. Unfortunately for him, the church
TO which he was called was at war with its
Bishop, the result Of long years
OF bitter controversy. The pre-.
ceding Z pastor, Rev. @. Foute,
now rector Of Grdco Church, San Fran.
cisco, got out Of the way to avoid unpleas-
ant Incidents with tho Bishop. II was
thus that Armstrong began his ministra.
tons under o cloud, which neither elo-
quence or zeal could remove. During his
last Bummer's vacation he drank bottle
Of beer in Cincinnati. Out Of this MOLE
bill mountain was made by Biehop
Beckwith's friends. A trial followed,
which resulted In the Doctors suspension
for ten years, mitigated by the Bishop to
five. Even here tho prosecution OF Dr..
Armstrong did not ceaae. Wherever he
went his actions were watched: whatever
he said was duly made noto Of, and even
when he atewas watched.
Several years ago he was invited to a
banquet in Augusta. Ho drank wine to
one Of the toasts. This fact waa duly
taken up and published abroad. Mem
pora Of the church lodged new complaint
to the Blshop, and another trial was in
contemplation. When this fact became
known to Dr.. Armstrong he at once wrote
q letter Withdrawing from tho ministry
entirely. DR.. Armstrong refuses to tell
the contents Of his letter more than ia
already indicated, but an intimate friend
who has read the letter says: l|
"The Doctor desires to relieve tho Epis.
copal Church from any responsibility
whatever for his actions, and desires to bs
relieved of any responsibility to the
Church. Ho therefore renounces tho
ministry. He felt that he could not, with
peace and dignity, maintain relation
with church, tho authorities OF which
were unfriendly to him." o.
